Drive releases through a single orchestrator workflow

Drive releases through a single orchestrator workflow that:
Keeps the nightly cron
Offers manual dispatch inputs for dev/nightly/production
Passes the production tag/base down to release-production.yml
Without that orchestrator, the nightly job will stop running and dev/prod releases can’t be dispatched from the GitHub UI. Let me know if you’d like me to wire the orchestrator back up (or revert the individual workflow_dispatch blocks) so the previous scheduling behavior continues uninterrupted.
